You will need to be way more specific than that. Basically the adjustment is the same for either. You must make the environment so distalization will occur. Reread your seminar notes from session 4 case 979.
Dr Taylor, can you suggest an instrument that lets you check the force through the COG of the molar at review appts? Also does it matter if the headgear is not completely symmetrical? Ta
+applemachappy There is no instrument currently in production for this purpose. You will need to use the same modality to locate the center of resistance as you did at the initial placement. The best way to check is to take a ceph with the HG and neck strap in place. The metal clips and the spring in the force module can make a line that needs to pass thru the center of resistance. I am presuming your "COG" is your abbreviation for the center of resistance. It does not matter if the HG is symmetrical but again I am not precisely sure what you are asking here. The force right to left needs to be the same. Since a left and right molar can be asymmetrical, then the HG usually will show some asymmetry. Are you a current Progressive Ortho student or past graduate of our program?
Amazing! This video changed my life.
Hey Dr Taylor, you're awesome!
Nice vdo. Can u explain the consequences of outerbow movement up and down over the roots of the molars?
Such a great video!!!why didn't see this before!
Because thus is bad for the maxilla. A recessed maxilla is ugly
very informative! Thank you!
This was very helpful. Do you use a TPA with this type of head gear?
amazing video, when do we use a short or a long outer bow?
Dear Dr Taylor, may I ask how can we set up the headgear to let distalization occurs instead of just restraining growth?
THX a lot

Thank you so much, but I'm a resident in Taiwan so I cannot attend ur seminar nor course...
